Tobias POV

My legs felt weak beneath me. Like they were made of jelly. Last time we went to the bureau we drove a car. I hadn't realised how far we'd gone. Matthew and I had been walking for over 3 hours in extreme heat. We left the Amity farms straight after breakfast. I turn around to see Matthew lagging behind. 

"Come on Matthew," I shouted encouragingly. He looked faint.

"I need," he panted in reply. "A rest"

"Well, OK. But only if it's a quick one. We need to get to Tris as soon as possible."

We both sad down, in the middle of the road, and rested. We didn't get any food from the Amity and only one bottle of water. I was in too much of hurry to think about that stuff. I was regretting it now. The bottle of water that we had brought now only had a few more drops in it.

I felt a drop of sweat rolling down my face. I wonder what sweat tasted like. Ew! Tobias! What are you thinking? I was awaken from my daze by a vibrating noise. I looked over at Matthew, who looked back at me, his face mirroring the confusion on mine. I soon realised it was mine phone. I pulled it out of my pocket to see a super ugly face. Zeke

"Damn," I mutter. They must of realised I was gone. I should have expected it. I'd been gone for a day now. They probably went around to my place and found I wasn't there. Matthew must have seen the worried look on my face and worked out who it was.

"Just answer it and if they ask where we are, just tell them. They won't be able to catch us anyway."

Well, here goes nothing. "Hello?"

"Tobias!" Zeke yelled into the phone. I winced at the volume of his voice. "You’re OK"

"Yeah. I'm fine."

"Except. You’re missing! Were the hell are you?"

"Um... it's a long story."

"I've got time bro."

"Well, I don't"

"Why not?" All his questions were starting to bug me and I lost my temper.

"To see Tris," I shout into the speaker. I heard Zeke wince along with other noises. I realised he had me on speaker. "Sorry," I softly mutter.

"To see Tris?" Christina asked, anger dripping from her voice. I could tell why. I was going to see her best friend and not only did take her, I didn't even tell her. "But she's dead. Nice try Tobias. Where the hell are you hiding from us? And why?" They didn't believe me. I guess I can understand why. 

"3 hours down the track from the Amity farms to the Bureau of Genetic Welfare," I replied, annoyance soaking my voice. Before anyone could reply I hung up. "Well that could have gone better," I mutter to myself. 

Matthew and I sit around for a couple more minutes before I decide it's time to go.

"Come on Matthew. We've had a long enough break. If we want to get to Tris soon, we have to keep going."

"OK," is all I get in reply. I hear Matthew heaving himself up, huffing and puffing even after our break. I begin to walk to the Bureau of Genetic Welfare and don't stop until it's in my sights.

Hey Guys

I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I could have been doing one of the 4 assignmets I have at the moment but instead I wrote this chapter. What are teachers thinking? We have just over a week at school and I have 4 assignments? They're mental. Well, anyay. That's all I wanted to say so that you guys could appriciate what I actually do and other wattpad authors do. Some of them have more on their plate and still update more than me. I feel really bad for them when people say 'Update!!!!' or something like that. It makes me feel for them. Should be able to update on the weekend but still have some assignments and have to do lots of cooking for a high tea I'm hosting on Monday. So until next time
